About Me
Hello and welcome to my website!
I am Gaetano Coppoletta, the Chief Product Officer (CPO) and Co-Founder of GorgeousTV. With a strong technical background holding a dual Master of Science in Computer Engineering and Computer Science, I am driven by a mission to revolutionize the digital advertising industry.
About Me:
My technical journey began with a passion for the inner workings of electronic devices, leading me to study Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino (PoliTo), a leading technical university in Italy. I graduated with distinction, fueled by a curiosity that transcended traditional learning. My academic pursuits continued in the United States where I focused on cybersecurity at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Here, as a Research Assistant at the Systems and Internet Security Lab (SISL), I gained deep insights into web security, software security, and software analysis.
This foundation has been instrumental in my role at GorgeousTV, where as CPO, I lead our efforts to transform how audiences interact with digital content. Our platform, the world’s first 100% shoppable streaming network, turns passive video watching into a dynamic, interactive shopping experience. Imagine watching your favorite TV show or movie and being able to shop every product you see on screen with just a simple tap.
Recent Academic Contribution:
My recent paper, “OCPPStorm: A Comprehensive Fuzzing Tool for OCPP Implementations“, was published at VehicleSec. This work introduced a pioneering fuzzing tool that led to the discovery and reporting of 7 new CVEs related to the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), enhancing the security of electric vehicle charging systems.
About GorgeousTV:
At GorgeousTV, we are redefining the streaming experience by making every product in your favorite TV shows and movies shoppable. Our patented AI-based technology integrates contextual product ads seamlessly across extensive video catalogs, creating new revenue streams for content owners and delivering an engaging user experience.
As a technical co-founder, I am deeply involved in steering our development team towards crafting a platform that not only reimagines digital advertising but also sets new industry benchmarks. Beyond my professional role, I am committed to fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning within our team.
Thank you for visiting my website and joining me on this exciting journey at the intersection of technology and innovation, where we not only aim to achieve success but also pioneer groundbreaking solutions that leave an indelible mark on the advertising industry.
